The artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser is celebrated by the Kunsthalle Bremen as an important member of the international Avantgarde. In the announcement of the exhibition they state, that Hundertwasser is one of the most famous but underestimated artists. Showing not only paintings, but manifests and documented performances too, they represent Hunderwasser as a critical and ecological thinking activist. His closeness to nature is reflected in his art by the negation of the straight line. The organically grown line may be considered as the main element in his paintings and architecture.
